My payments are $100 lower, my insurance is $40 lower, my milage is 40k lower, and I actually have a warrenty that'll last me 6-7 year compared to having none. You tell me where I went wrong other than loosing all that pimp factor, lol. Oh I'm 21(just turned) not some 31 year old guy w/ a full time job making 60k+ a year. I'm gonna be back in a Z once I get a full time job after college anyway so who caresif I'm w/o a z for a coupple of years.

You would have been better off just admiting you knocked up some slutty *****, and now gotta play daddy with the yaris.

Sounds like a smart decision to me especially one from a 21 year old. Congrats on your new project and new gas saver.

if the goal was to save money, why even bother with the sx? you will be dumping money in to that car if you want to have fun with it.

project car or not, that 240 is going to be a huge money sink. aside from the paint job (and apparent body work) that it so clearly needs, which is expensive enough... it's not exactly a spring chicken. and you traded in a car with much better safety features as well.

Jesus it looks like that 240 was parked down at the beach for 2 years with the windows down. Is that rust on the handbrake?

I can understand getting a smaller, more fuel efficient car with a warranty in these times... but not getting a junked up beater. Should've waited and found a better maintained "project" car

I do not understand.
